Warframe creators release Intel Core i9-13900K and 14900K crash data, make up most
A few days ago we informed you that Alderon Games is switching its servers completely to the AMD platform due to the unacceptable crashes of the Intel Core i9-13900K and 14900K processors. It also warns players of its Path of Titans game against these processors. Now we have another game developer coming up against these processors. It’s the creators of Warframe who have addressed the game’s crashes, finding that it’s not a problem with their code, but that the game crashes in the nvgpucomp64.dll drivers, which is a component of Nvidia’s graphics drivers. It is known that one of the manifestations of the crash of Intel processors can be meaningless messages about insufficient capacity of graphics memory, crashes of graphics drivers and the like. They collected hundreds of reports from their players and noticed an interesting pattern.

Most of the crashes were caused by the Intel Core i9-13900K(F) and Core i9-14900K(F) processors. Of course, it can also be related to the percentage representation of these processors among players. The most was in the case of the i9-13900K, namely 29.5%, followed by the i9-14900KF with 18.7%, the i9-14900K with 15.3%, and the list was closed by the i9-13900KF with 12.3%. The 14700K, 13700K, 13900KS, 14700KF, 13700KF, and 14900KS models follow. We see that 96.4% of these driver crashes occurred on Intel Core i7-13700K(F), 14700K(F) and Core i9-13900K(F/S) and 14900K(F/S) builds. The remaining 3.6% was accounted for by older and/or weaker Intels and all AMD processors.

They also posted on their blog the story of one of their employees who had the same problem on his home computer, but his work computer at the office was running stable. It wasn’t overclocked in any way, updated windows on it, all drivers, turned off various 3rd party utilities, tested RAM, but all this was fine, the computer continued to crash. While in the offices they tried crazy simulations with NPC quantums, playing with the UI, the game did not crash, however, he was often unable to even run it on his computer. In the end, it was found that the BIOS of the 2022 motherboard was responsible for everything, which still had aggressive Intel processor power profiles (unlocked consumption limits). After updating the BIOS, everything calmed down.
